GOOOOOOAL! Karim Benzema with the fifth of the night. Jese finds Ronaldo unmarked, but he misses it. Benzema, however, steps up and makes sure the ball goes in.

Bale's hat-trick was great but that sliding challenge in the box though! Almost as if he was trained as a defender back in the da... oh.

78' Good work from Jese as he nutmegs the defender to find Modric who lays it forward for Ronaldo. His shot just misses the post.

Ronaldo now slides shot from tight angle wide of far post. Hands on hips as Bernabeu again cheers him. No sign of whistles tonight.

76' James does well to evade a defender as he finds Ronaldo with a pass, but he is flagged offside.

Bale being subbed out was for the people to bow down.. he deserved it. He never gets recognition for his hard work. Bravo, Zinedine

24' Ronaldo cuts in from the left flank and his powerful shot goes inches wide. Good try from the Portuguese.

22' GOOOOAL! A cross from the right flank from Carvajal finds Gareth Bale who has the simple task of putting the ball into the back of the net.

21' Deportivo finally hold onto possession for a period of time and that almost results in a goal as the cross from the right flank is headed over the bar.

18' Ever since the goal, Real Madrid's attacks have been a lot more fluid and another quick passing move down the left creates a good chance for Isco, who dribbles into the box, but slips at the crucial moment.

GOAAAAL! A deflected shot from Cristiano Ronaldo, who cut in from the left, leads to a corner for Real Madrid from which they score. Sergio Ramos' shot that is headed goalwards is cleverly backheeled by Benzema into the back of the net.

10' Perez's shot is somehow saved by Keylor Navas. A close save.
